Scouting report: Astros host Angels in four-game set

1: Angels outfielder Mike Trout has been the runner-up in the American League MVP race to Miguel Cabrera the last two seasons, and the Astros must figure out a way to shut him down or limit his production.

2: Scott Feldman and Jarred Cosart proved to be a strong one-two punch against the Yankees, and the Astros will need them to continue leading the rotation.

3: Lucas Harrell and Dallas Keuchel held off Jerome Williams and Brad Peacock to win the final two spots in the Astros’ rotation, and now they’ll get their first opportunities to hold up the back end of the rotation.
